Yeah but Newpipe works.
Yeah but Newpipe works.
it just freeloads
I watch a number of creators that YT has demonetized so I’m not worried about it.
YT can clearly see what people want in these apps. They simply need to provide the exact same functionality and set a price. They won’t though because they want control and data as well.
The West has basically removed itself as a competitor to Russia ergo subsidizing the cost of building industry by simply leaving a void. It was so obvious that the sanctions were going to blow up in our face.
Youtube Premium offers a fraction of the benefits of something like Newpipe.
Also that the US has been at war for the past 20+ years and has very little to show for it’s efforts. People are war fatigued and want things sorted out at home because domestically things are terrible.
It’s great! It only makes 4-6 servings of rice at a time but I prefer that because it means there’s less leftovers
Someone gifted me a Le Creuset rice cooker. I use it at least once but often twice a week. At $200+ it’s truly something I never would have bought myself.
Getting a split keyboard is the biggest ergonomic improvement I’ve made.
I can’t leave KISS launcher. I’ve tried.
I know how VPNs work. When I connect to a VPN I trust that the provider doesn’t snoop on me, actually routes the traffic like they promise and combines my traffic effectively enough that it obfuscates my identity.
You also have to trust your vpns isp.
It’s free/libre, open source and has accurate doppler radar and forecasts. It’s one of those get what you pay for deals except he doesn’t sell your data.
For “privacy” yes, almost entirely.
If your VPN isn’t routing to your home network so you can safely access selfhosted applications then you’re basically just sharing your traffic with a total stranger and trusting them not to run telemetry etc.
Self-hosting was always the intent. Open source ended up being a bonus. People 30 years ago wouldn’t understand why something like facebook would even need to exist. The internet is designed so literally everyone can have their own website.
It’s not outdated. The chance of a newer electronic communication method being ubiquitous and also relatively open (e.g. not associated directly with a company) is slim. PGP encryption (another “old” technology) solves the privacy nightmare piece. People just have to use it.
Also I recommend selfhosting email. Mailinabox.email is pretty brainless.
Wx is available for free on fdroid. You’re welcome.
Why do people use these crap apps when podcasting is the only media which, from it’s inception, is entirely liberated? You can get a FLOSS app and access pretty much everything. Anything you can’t access doesn’t deserve your attention.
Bingo
To be clear I wouldn’t give them my money even if they did offer all the same features.
